Well, I'm glad that the two will at least be able to send letters with their closest (only adult?) friends back home.
The bit about Sirius trying to work behind Harry's back, pushing the pure blood line - or separation from the Muggle world - was very interesting and clever, I thought, particularly here where Harry explains why Sirius went that way. Good psychology, good stuff.
And so the kids consumate their marriage. I know you'd mentioned a couple of times that Harry was around 19 years old mentally, and Hermione a couple of years old, thus - presumably - getting around sex between minors, but still, the idea of two thirteen year old bodies doing the deed .... ewww. I'm a stodgy old fellow I guess.
(I still liked the dialogue between them ... Hermione talking 'breathlessly', 'nearly begging', etc)
